[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For non-fiction, how much does your social media following matter? It always seems like book deals are handed out left and right to influencers (often for not very good books), but I've heard people with really good book proposals struggle because they don't have tens of thousands of Instagram followers. Curious how much truth there is to this?[/quote] Not an expert, but I assume publishers have some fixed percentage of followers they assume will buy a book from someone they like. That's X copies of the book the author has already sold for them. That understandably figures into what books they would publish, no? Assuming a standard publishing house -- I assume the academic presses are a bit different.[/quote]
